career summaryI’ve pretty much spent my whole life involved in sports. My family was incredibly active in various sports while
growing up. Being Canadian, we were heavily into competitive hockey and tennis. In university, I became house mates with ski racers who were also involved in the beginning stages of windsurfing. From these friendships I became
addicted to board sports! First snow skiing, followed by windsurfing, snowboarding, surfing, kite boarding, stand-up paddle, wake boarding, water skiing; anything I could do using some sort of board!
I was fortunate enough to compete and be sponsored by windsurfing company’s which lead to clothing sponsors. Hanging around other sponsored athletes proved that my Australian surf wear sponsor at the time was not quite
up to the latest trends in surf and casual attire, so I started critiquing what they sent me. One thing lead to another and somehow I ended up designing clothing for them. I then became involved in the distribution group in
north america to import and distribute the products throughout the states and canada. With a successful business operation up and running, I sold my shares after being approached by the distributor of Quiksilver in Canada to join him in operating the license for Quiksilver canada. this was the ultimate experience! Travelling around the world meeting and working with the various Quiksilver international license design groups was a
priceless education in design and production. after four years of growth, we sold the license to an asian garment industry group through the Maple Leaf Foundation, which allowed Canadian citizenship. From there I went on to
work freelance designing for Billabong, Descente and numerous other action sports apparel company’s. being familiar with production, I ended up looking after the fabric and trim development and design as well as the
production of most lines.
I think the biggest advantage i have had working with multiple action sports oriented clothing company’s is my ability to grasp specific developments from one sport that could be tweaked to relate and apply to another. By
also being an end-user, I could test different concepts to ensure they actually worked the way they were supposed to. This evolutionary evaluation worked consistently with constant refinement and the development of technological advancements. When something new came along, I figured out if and how to apply the application to
apparel.
The focus now is to keep the development happening but to ensure what your doing is environmentally sustainable and the product lines you are creating have zero negative impact on the already strained planet. The greatest part
of this is that there are numerous untapped eco friendly resources just waiting to be discovered and applied!
What impresses me the most about this industry is the next generation who are entering the field to fill the design positions and who “get” what needs to done. That raw youthful energy is so addicting i find myself
becoming more of a teacher / mentor than a boss. there are many resources now that direct and forecast trends, but its really how creative a designer can be that makes a difference. You still need to understand the process
and viability to make it work and that’s where my value lies.The apparel action sport industry is all about learning to look beyond what’s on the shelf and make a difference
in the future!
